High blood pressure: If your son loses weight his blood pressure will go down accordingly? Forty to fifty pounds would be ideal.

Workup Mgt Follow up: The workup for the underlying cause of his hypertension should include renal studies and an assessment of his heart. Losing weight is an essential part of the management, including diet and exercise. A comprehensive panel of tests is advised by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Your M.D. will order these laboratory tests and repeat them to track his progress.
